High command fidelity electromagnetically driven calorimeter

An example apparatus can comprise an emitter to emit radio frequency radiation, an absorber that changes temperature based on emissions from the emitter, and one or more sensors to measure a temperature difference between a sample and a reference coupled to the absorber.

TeMoto 2.0: Source Agnostic Command-to-Task Architecture Enabling Increased Autonomy in Remote Systems - 18438

Tele-operated robots provide safe means for executing tasks in hazardous environments such as underground mines, space, disaster and legacy nuclear facility decommissioning sites, etc. The desire to use these systems in increasingly complex and dynamic environments presents a variety of technical and educational challenges including (i) insufficient field knowledge of system developers, (ii) restricted data bandwidth, and (iii) insufficient operator situational awareness. Lack of field knowledge is commonly addressed by actively educating robotics engineers in the perspective areas. The Nuclear Robotics Group (NRG) at the University of Texas at Austin trains students to have the necessary skill and knowledge in both the robotic and nuclear domains. To address the second two deficiencies, the NRG has developed TeMoto: a speech and hand gesture based supervisory teleoperation software. TeMoto addresses several chronic technical issues associated with most teleoperation systems including the operator's situational awareness, communication delays and interface intuitiveness. This paper reviews recent efforts to update and extend the TeMoto architecture (TeMoto 2.0) to support more complex semi-autonomous behaviors and eliminate the unnecessary and confining concept of a human interface as a separate component from the rest of the robot's sensors and actuators. This paper outlines the key architectural changes and demonstrations using a dual-arm mobile manipulator to complete semi-autonomous tasks. (authors)
